Should I have told him????
« on: June 24, 2013, 12:20:00 PM »
I was at a 3D on Sunday morning, climbing around through the bugs and the mud when I came up behind a couple of compound guys who struck up a conversation.
In particular, the one was telling me how he was thinking about switching to a recurve since he was battling target panic and new he couldn't get it if he switched.

I just didn't have the heart to tell him.

I think you made the right choice. For one thing, whenever someone tries something different, it seems to get rid of target panic for a while. By the time he gets it back again, he'll probably be hooked!

You did the right thing.  Who knows, since he was convinced he couldn't get it, It may work.  Best to smile and nod, then wish him the best.
Relax,

You'll live longer!

You did the right thing.....hopefully he make the switch cleanly. I would be surprised, but I hope he can!

You did the right thing. If he believes none of us get's it let him find out like most of us did at a time or two! LOL
